Scott Hannah
I am a final year PhD researcher who is experienced in teaching and researching physiology and exercise physiology. I have a passion for science communication, research methodologies, statistics and data science. I have worked in a variety of higher education and research roles, ranging from Lecturer of Physiology to Dance Science Technician. I like collaborative environments where I can learn from my peers. I am currently searching for a position that allows me to teach, research and communicate physiology, and develop data science tools for analysing human physiology.
